Loom temple



vPatented Oct. 13, 1931 y y LOUIS P. BA'rsoN, or ennnnvrrnsouriifcarioiimn y Application filed November rl`his invention relates to a loom temple and more especially to a loom temple havingthe roll, or rolls,`thereinpmade 'entirely`of'cork,

and if desired, lwith certain spiral Asurfaces k'5 onV the roll to stretch the cloth and to' feed it outwardly toward the base of the temple. I am afware that heretofore loom temples have had a covering of cork thereon, butan advantage of a roll made entirely of cork is that it vgivesthe ydesired resiliency and feel to the cloth to cause the cloth to be gripped thereby to hold the same without injuring the f most delicate fabric.

l am also aware that various attemptsv have been made to provide a roll for loom temples for stretching the cloth, but owing to thev fact that the surface of theser temples has been made so as to injure the texture ofV the Cloth, this hasnot proven satisfactory.

It is an object of my invention to provide a roll for loom templesfmade entirely of cork and having a spiral on the surface thereof for gripping the cloth and feeding it outwardly toward the sides of the loom and, thereby,y

stretching the cloth Vand preventing it pulling in toward the middle of the loom and causing imperfections inthe Weaving.

Some of they objects of my inventionhaving' been stated, other objects will appearas the description proceeds when taken in conespecially adapted for a silk loom, having two Y.

cork rolls mounted therein; A Y VFigure 5 is aside elevation of a modified form of my cork roll;

Figure 6 is another modified form of the e Spiralen the cork roll;

- In Figure 6, show another modified form spiral thereonwhich spiral portion `is indicated by re'ference character 25. This roll 23has bushings 26 and 27 in the. end thereof E and, of course, thisroll also lhas a bore 28 extending therethrough, as well as the other types of rolls and all of'them Vare shown with the 'bore extending therethrough, fora suit-v able re-enforcing Vmember to bek passed through the roll', as isconventional. n

- The rollion the right hand side of the loom will have a left hand spiral thereon for feeding the cloth outwardly and likewise the'rolls 0n the left hand side ofthe loom will have ay of a roll 23wliich hasl a different type Vof right hand spiral thereon so as to feed the cloth outwardly toward the edges or sides of the loom to keep the cloth in the temples and to keep it stretched tautly as it passes through the temples.

In Figures 3 and 4, I show the preferred form of they spiral and in theselfigures the roll is indicated by reference character 30 with a spiral 31 thereon and the Ahousing M, therein is indicated by reference character 32 which also has asupport 33 extending'- therefrom for securing the same to the loom. In Figure 3 is shown a side elevation ofv the' structure shovvn in Figure 4; and there is M seen that the rolls 31 and: 34 are providedl and' the housingVB-Q is: broad enou'ghto accommodate two rolls for providing a suitable temple forsillrl'oolns and t'he like.n l

rFherolls 3l and' 34 are held in:v position by r2@ suitable pins 36, 37, 38r and 39 which arefsecured inthe ends of the' rol-ls-'i-n: any desi-red 1nannereither according tothe formy shown in FigureQ.- or it may penetrate the ends of the rollsin a' conventional manner for allow- 25 ingrotation` of the rolls.

21. A roll for loom temples madel off one pieee ot cork and` havingfr a spiral proieetion on thesurface thereof.- v
